The Korea Professional Football Association announced on Friday that it held its eighth board meeting at Lotte Hotel in Jamsil on April 4 and voted to change the foreign player quota system from 2025, partially relax the mandatory travel system for the K League 1 U22, and introduce a 'homegrown' system in 2025.

As a result, the 'Asian quota' will be abolished from the 2025 season and one additional foreign player of any nationality will be allowed to register and play.

The K League 1 can register up to six foreign players per club regardless of nationality and play up to four, while the 현금홀덤사이트 K League 2 can register four non-national players and one Southeast Asian quota player and play all registered foreign players.

The decision reflects the recent trend of major Asian leagues abolishing the Asian quota, with Japan, Saudi Arabia, China, Australia, Qatar and other major Asian leagues currently not having an Asian quota.

The AFC Champions League will also abolish the Asian quota from the upcoming 24-25 season and allow unlimited foreign players to register and play.

However, the confederation's board of directors decided to give clubs a one-year grace period before implementing the change in the 2025 season, given that many clubs are still under contract with their current Asian quota players until 2024.

In addition, the 'U22 mandatory attendance system', which deducts the number of substitutes if an under-22 (U22) player does not appear in a game, will be partially relaxed for K League 1 only from next year.

The current U22 mandatory travel system will remain in place for K League 2.

The 'Homegrown' system, which the board of directors has decided to introduce starting in 2025, is a system in which a youth player with a foreign nationality is considered a domestic player when registering new K League players if he or she has played for a domestic amateur team for a certain period of time.

Initially, a quota of one player per club will be granted, with future expansion to be considered.

In addition, a clue rule has been established to exempt U22 players who are suspended due to accumulated warnings, ejections, or disciplinary actions from the U22 mandatory travel system when they are called up to the national team.

When it is necessary to postpone a match just before kickoff due to bad weather or facility problems, the match supervisor can decide to postpone the kickoff twice for 30 minutes each, taking into account the opinions of all parties involved, and the rule that professional and youth team players must complete CPR training once a year was also newly established.
